Results of the catch comparison analyses obtained for Merluccius merluccius (top), Parapenaeus longirostris (middle) and Nephrops norvegicus (bottom). The graphs on the left show the modelled catch comparison rate (black line) with 95% CI (black dashed curves); the black circles represent the experimental rate; the grey horizontal line at 0.5 represents the point at which both configurations have equal catch rates; the grey vertical lines represent the MCRS of the species. The graphs on the right show the catch ratio (black line) with 95% CI (black dashed curves); the blue lines represent the length frequency distributions obtained with the two trawls tested (test and standard); the grey horizontal line at 1.0 represents the point at which both nets have equal catch rates; the grey vertical line represents the MCRS of the species.
